Selecting for useful properties of plants and fungi – Novel approaches, opportunities, and challenges
Bioversity-CIAT Alliance (Bioversity-CIAT Alliance)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/109711
Abstract
Humans use plants and fungi for a wide range of purposes and, over millennia, have improved wild species by selecting for and combining genetic variation. Improvements in DNA sequencing technologies have enhanced our capacity to identify and manipulate genetic diversity, increasing the range of variation that can be…

https://hdl.handle.net/10568/109712
Abstract
Overlooked in national reports and in conservation programs, wild food plants (WFPs) have been a vital component of food and nutrition security for centuries. Recently, several countries have reported on the widespread and regular consumption of WFPs, particularly by rural and indigenous communities but also…
